Greetings all,
Hearth is excited to share the date of the Winter Walk for 2024 is Sunday, February 11th. Winter Walk is a non-profit organization that raises awareness and funds to end homelessness. Many of the organizations that we work with will participate in this walk.
Last year, Hearth, Inc. Board Members Diane Valle, Marilyn Miller, and Greg Manousos (along with his family), joined the Winter Walk to represent Hearth.
This year, we have created an official Team Hearth to participate in the 2024 Winter Walk. I encourage you to join our team to help us Soar in 2024! What do I mean by Soar in 2024? First, we need to create opportunities to promote Hearth’s name and good work. I would like to see Hearth Soar to new heights in employee engagement, in community outreach, in advocating for the fight to end elder homelessness, and supporting and advancing Hearth’s fundraising efforts.
This is a perfect opportunity to walk together and help to raise Hearth’s visibility in the community. You can bring your friends, family, and dogs are welcomed (leashed). I will be there and have convinced Zoe to join in the fun.
I would love to see representation from Hearth employees and all those associated with Hearth. To register, press the blue “Register Now” button on the Winter Walk website via this link. https://secure.qgiv.com/event/winterwalk2024-boston/
· All are welcome to walk without the barrier of fees or fundraising, but you will see that we suggest giving or raising $100 ($50- for youth and students) if able. Hearth’s team fundraising goal this year is $1,500 with a combination of board and staff contributions.
· Be sure to join the “Hearth” Team when registering. Enter “Hearth” in the search bar for teams and you will see our Hearth Logo with Rhonda Pieroni as our Team Captain.
After the walk, I welcome everyone to take in the city. If the weather cooperates, it may be a great day to skate on the Frog Pond, drink some hot cocoa, or get a bite to eat together. We will communicate with registered team members closer to the event date with information on local gathering places.
Hearth’s plan is to become a partner organization for the Winter Walk in 2025. This is significant because 100% of funds raised collectively are distributed among the partner organizations. Hearth is not a partner organization for 2024. This event will provide Hearth exposure to the Winter Walk in preparation to be a partner organization in 2025.
Warm regards and hope to see you there!
Rhonda Pieroni, President and CEO
